Sixth Form Curriculum

Students usually take three A level courses, although some may choose to take four. This will take up 27 hours across a two week timetable. Outside of their lessons students are expected to study for five hours per week per subject. To support them with this independent learning they have two hours of supervised silent study each morning (8.30-10.30) and they are expected to be in the study room unless they have a timetabled lesson.

We have 23 A level subjects, one BTEC and the Extended Project Qualification. Please see the links below to find out more about each course.
